Working on our StepOut<\/a> was incredibly fun and we learned a lot and fell in love with Ludum Dare.<\/p>\n

\"stepoutTitle\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What follows is an excerpt of the complete post-mortem on Bitserum<\/a><\/p>\n

The Good<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. We were already familiar enough with unity from previous dabbling that we could work pretty fast. We managed to finish what we think is a decent game and polish it in only 72 hours.<\/li>\n
  2. I managed to create an atmosphere\/environment I really like and am proud of, and had immense fun with doing that. Level design must be my favorite part of the process.<\/li>\n
  3. I love how music basically made itself, for the largest part I just randomly put sounds together.<\/li>\n
  4. Ivan (the programmer) loved creating and testing new mechanics, everything past walking and jumping which was pretty basic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Bad<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. I feel the music is lacking and wish I had much more time to play around, learn and polish ambience track creation.<\/li>\n
    2. We hated adjusting to Unity\u2019s physics and accepting all the limitations of its native physics engine (relative to 2D development)<\/li>\n
    3. I really wanted just one more level, also more variety in the second level.<\/li>\n<\/ol>","time":"August 28th, 2013 1:19 am","title":"StepOut Postmortem","title_was_empty":false}
